Favorite quotes ?

Hello all,

I was just wondering what are (some of) everyones favorite quotes...

here are my 2 favorites:

"All the joy the world contains
Has come through wishing happiness for others.
All the misery the world contains
Has come through wanting pleasure for oneself"
-Shantideva, from The Way of the Bohisattva

"UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not."
-Dr. Seuss, from The Lorax

Wherever the next mediation is. Every now and then I make it back to Norfolk, England.

The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition
--Dr Carl Sagan

A human being is part of a whole called by us "Universe", a part limited in space and time. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison to us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
--Albert Einstein

"The danger in communication is the illusion that it has been accomplished."
George Bernard Shaw
